Right. That default is set during configure, there's an option for it. If 
you're always going to use /tmp/dbus, you may want to use that.

Suggestion: update your filesystem hierarchy a little and have /run be mounted 
as a tmpfs too, or make /run a symlink to /tmp (and /var/run is a symlink to 
/run). That way, /var/run/dbus_system_socket also lives in a tmpfs.
